The extra items in the US are virtually always at the state and local level, where quite often state constitutions or local laws require certain items, such as bond issues to fund development, to be voted on directly. I personally don't have a problem with this, but then I think the powers of governments in general, at all levels, should be much more limited than they currently are.
The point of the post is that sentiment drives value, not the other way around. It’s a profound thesis and it makes the opinions of analysts irrelevant.

If enough people want GameStop to succeed then it will. Ironically it’s the same thesis that wealthy SV investors go by when they decide to invest in a startup. Except the word invest is usually misleading. Most of the time they’re just looking for a vehicle to inject capital and influence, and the people and product are interchangeable parts used to achieve a a profitable outcome.

It is near impossible for Facebook to successfully brand themselves as pro-privacy at this point. When their privacy breaches have been in the mainstream news for years now, the true Facebook business model is just too deeply embedded into the general populace.

Between that and their revenue driver (ads) being seemingly mainly bot traffic based on many of the posts I’ve seen here, it wouldn’t be a wild stretch to say one single black swan event could bring Facebook crashing in the market.

Too much negative sentiment and hot air, not enough true value.
The main ways it would be harmful is if you touched it or ate fish that touched it. The corrosion would probably just spread it out in the ocean and it'll soon become unnoticeable. After all, the radioactive materials mostly exist in nature anyway.
Oh. We arent paid or anything, just the reading is supposed for a year to year and I have to pay just 10% of my last bill.
Say I consume 1000kWh for a year and generate and sell to them 1100kWh, then I still have to pay for 100kWh at same prices.

I could reduce my load on grid by going battery but that is very expensive and with lead acid the ROI doesnt reach as they get depleted in 3 years before any profit is made. Havent looked at lithium as its very expensive..... will see

If the policy for net metering changes in future, I will preemptively buy another 5-10 kWh panels
It was intentionally "leaked"; the whole thing is a PR move. Facebook's entire business is predicated upon having intimate knowledge of its users and is as such irreconcilable with the concept of privacy.
are you aware of the drag factor? Afaik, that is the exact measurement of resistance, not the damper on the side. The damper setting and friction will differ greatly from machine to machine, especially older, worn out machines.

I feel like Google and every other Corp should not be allowed to donate a single penny to any politician. This is the problem with the USA, the corps are allowed to buy the politicians and end up running the country.
I was thinking about Microsoft 365 when I mentioned Microsoft, since its an offering similar to that of Google regarding businesses.

And I thought that my assumptions would make it clear that this is not a realistic scenario. Do you disagree that it would be a smart move for Facebook, regardless of the company's history and context?

> It is less about which specific "meme positions" you enter, but when you enter them and when you exit them.

this is a good point. I mostly entered my positions after the symbols had gotten a day or two of buzz on wsb, which is usually too late to realize significant gains. my buddy had more of a yolo strategy: "buy anything sufficiently ridiculous the first time you see it on wsb". he did a lot better than I did. I do it for fun mostly. I realized early on I don't have the stomach to put large amounts of my money into memes, and the amount of time I've spend watching tickers for 2-4% of my portfolio value simply isn't worth it on a $/hr basis.

my main point is just that this was a great year for frugal people with good jobs who invested their savings somewhat conservatively. the (unrealized) gains from my s&p etfs this year exceeded my actual salary by quite a bit. I don't feel like a chump for not going all in on short-dated options.
Why would "employees" need to be told this?

Are we to believe random employees just happen to create these non pirvacy products and the VP(s) at Facebook have nothing to do with it?
> most analysts

Counterpoint:

"Most analysts" are hum-drum Wall Street hacks who cover dozens of companies and don't really have a clue about how the lion's share of them are run. I remember a few years back there was one analyst who kept talking about how NAND keeps getting cheaper and that's hurting memory suppliers...but the analyst's metrics didn't normalize for advancements in NAND speed nor the maturing of capital investments, so the analyst was basically looking at totally expected price declines over time and interpreting it as for some kind of static commodity while claiming it as a bear thesis.

A few of them are really clever and knowledgeable. The rest are chumps.

It's extremely difficult to judge GME based on regular metrics because their long-term outlook is a function of strategy and their short-term survival is a function of COVID. Sure, the company sells stuff that you can buy online, and sure, they sell it at malls and other places where nobody goes these days, but its stock was over-shorted and this was going to happen sooner or later anyway.

Maybe my numbers are off, so correct me if I'm wrong....At today's closing price, GME, which has $6B/yr revenue, is worth a sixth of BBY, which has 43B/yr revenue.
Yep, better keep the more addictive, more dangerous drugs illegal, because keeping them illegal totally stops addicts from taking them. Don't worry at all about the fact that not having a safe, clean source of these drugs frequently leads to accidental overdoses, say, because some dingus dealer accidentally stomped on the blow with some fent.
Thanks for the reply and stats! Yeh I actually just got off a call with a couple people I met because of that post, so that's always fun and different :)

If the voter can easily see that the ballot reflects their choices, then it's not useless as an auditing mechanism. That's hyperbole.

Remember, if there is massive/systematic fraud going on, then every instance doesn't have to be caught to uncover it.

Well done. The problem with most managers is that they never learn to measure what is important (output) instead of what isn’t (looking busy/hours pretending to work).
They need only do [risk-limiting audits](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Risk-limiting_audit) (which some states did do!) to verify the results.
OK, so this is coming from the head of Facebook Reality Labs, i.e. Oculus. Which is incredibly ironic, because Oculus very recently required FB accounts to use the device, which was met with a huge privacy-focused backlash, including from Palmer Luckey, the founder of Oculus.

So either they are planning to reverse that completely anti-privacy decision, or the author is totally full of shit. Can't have it both ways.

How so? How many eligible voters don't already have government issued IDs?
Well sort of... in this case, there are a ridiculous amount of short sellers... more than 100% of all the shares have been sold short.

That means that there is in some ways infinite demand... every single share currently owned HAS to be bought by a short seller at some point, in order to return it to the borrowed actual owner... so as long as all the current owners hold fast, they can sell their shares for as high as they can go.

It doesn't even matter if the company itself is worthless, the demand is there.

You are right about the zero sum in this case, though... it just might be the short sellers who are left holding the bag.
no it’s not. the squeeze is what makes the price rise, but once the wsb people start taking their profits, there will no longer be a shortage of shares and it’ll work in reverse, cascading down.

it doesn’t just magically stay high forever after the shorts are covered.

same cascading down effect can happen if gamestop simply issues new shares

And 4Chan a) isn't dumb, but they like doing dumb shit and b) they love brigading. Pool's closed etc.

But what's interesting is how the institutional outrage is merely fuelling the brigading.

The institutional investors crying in the media only confirms WSB's beliefs that they've found a weak spot in the institutions, so they're going to stick it in harder.

I admire their attitude, but not enough to put my money in to what feels like an giant troll.

It’s a short squeeze. Short selling investors who get margin called have to close their short positions, thus forcing them to purchase GME stock and driving it further up
Retail investors are supposed to buy and hold all of the stocks, because they couldn't possibly be smart enough to pick the good ones.

Hedge funds are supposed to be allowed to naked short the stocks they don't like into oblivion, transferring wealth from retail investors to hedge funds.

The hysteria and pearl clutching at this wealth transfer being reversed is hilarious.
DoorDash has had negative earnings for all but 2 (1?) quarters it has existed, and trades at about $190 a share, despite direct competition from multiple functionally identical competitors.

Ah yes because, correlation = causation. Come on.

Example: People are citing that birth rates decline in wealthier countries, yet fail to realize that wealth in those countries is a direct function of time. People exchange their time, for wealth.

It is not enough to simply have wealth. You also need time.

Most of these "studies" people keep linking, are looking at a single variable's correlation and not controlling for anything else. Amazing to me the "science" people will accept.

I disagree with other commenters saying it's anything but price gouging. When I worked for a msp (i.t. tech) we had trunk lines and asterisk. Managing it was dead simple, way faster than Vonage.

But yea if your not paying someone you will need to invest the time to set it up but it's relatively smooth sailing from there
It’s basically impossible without a radical change to their business model, so this is just PR psyops.

Unfortunately investors would greatly prefer a slow death of the company, while committing constant invasions of privacy on the entire world, than the great risk of a self induced reform.

Especially when they can get half the benefits for free by leaking fake memos and ineffective privacy control knobs.

Harley have the LiveWire, an electric bike. It’s expensive so not designed to sell a lot of them but everything I’ve read says it’s a extremely good bike with every one riding it saying if they had the spare cash and wouldn’t miss the money, they would buy one without hesitation.

An observation with every review I see on an electric motorcycles is every one says they thought they would miss the sound but instead the motor whine and the quietness adds to the experience. The motor whine and the torque/instant acceleration is supposed to be addictive, sounds like something out of Star Wars accelerating.

I like the sound of various engines, old thumpers, v-twins, v4’s, inline fours, straight through systems etc but don’t think I’d miss them, electric is another evolution of them.

A lot of complaints and policing a round motorcycles is the noise. Most people put after market exhausts on for the performance but that’s no longer required with electric.

I think the power characteristics, the low centre of gravity means once range issue is better with bikes they will be a more pure experience.

The lower noise will make longer journeys less fatiguing, it means national parks/country roads won’t be trying to ban bikes because of sound, same for dirt bikes etc etc.

I’ll probably miss ICE bikes and they will become classics but electric will also be an evolution of the motorcycle.

For me riding is about how the bike handles, the performance, where it lets me go. You are much more involved riding a bike than a car and you also take in the environment much more. How a motorcycle looks is important to me but I’m far less concerned about the image which is Harley’s marketing or all the custom cafe racers you see coming back these days.
Guaranteed there was a collective facepalm from all engineers working at facebook when they announced those "privacy changes" to WhatsApp.

Who makes these decisions? Surely it's from people higher to the top than the bottom and not at all the kind of people that would implement such a feature.

Actions speak louder than words and it would have been more meaningful to set some actual policy and protections for people bringing such privacy-violating product decisions to task rather then send the corporate equivalent of a "like and share" post.

I've never met an engineer that was anti-privacy or anti-security... Those traits are exclusively donned by product people trying to push a feature out on time or hit a kpi at the expense of bigger picture thinking.

Part of the issue is also the lack of standardized flags. I will remember "./configure --prefix=/opt/foo" until the day I die, but "cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/foo" is something I have to look up every time (like I did just now to type it here).
So scanning machines, the same ones we’ve used for decades, are compromised too? And that doesn’t show up in any of the routine audits that happen in a lot of states after an election?

What would you have people do? Maybe have the volunteers just scan the ballot by hand and then write down on paper the vote totals?

The argument just boils down to “machines are scary to me” and that isn’t a good enough reason to abandon progress that is routinely shown to work just fine.

I know they rebate Robinhood for order flow (I've even commented about it [1]), but I thought events like this were hard for MM firms to capitalize on because of the unpredictable nature of the price action and the high cost of hedging (there are no shorts available, how do you even delta hedge in that situation?).
